'Arkonia' Cadishead 26th February 2017

After an absence of around five months, cement traffic finally returned to the upper reaches of the canal. Due to the lift bridge collapse at Barton last year where the canal was effectively closed for the middle part of the year, the cement traffic was diverted to ABP Garston with only a handful of visits to Weaste again in September 2016 when the canal finally reopened.
